I'm Andy Warren, currently a SQL Server trainer with End to End Training. Over the past few years I've been a developer, DBA, and IT Director.

Every year I run down my LinkedIn list and try to think about who might be ready and I sent a dozen or so emails. It’s a little thing that might make a big difference.
